Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the role of gum disease in affecting the long term prognosis of renal patients. This disease if untreated causes inflammatory response throughout the body. If the subject has gum disease, he/she will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups. Read more about this study

About this study

The purpose of this study is to examine the role of gum disease in affecting the long term prognosis of renal patients. This disease if untreated causes inflammatory response throughout the body. If the subject has gum disease, he/she will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups. The study investigates what happens to inflammatory markers in blood and saliva after you are treated for gum disease.

Read the detailed description

The main goal of this project was to explore the contribution of chronic periodontitis to systemic inflammation in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). To achieve this goal, the project had two specific objectives:

  1. a) To compare the prevalence of periodontal infection between CKD and non-CKD populations and b) to explore the association between the presence of periodontal infection and the uremic status of CKD patients.
  2. a) To assess the levels of systemic inflammatory markers, IL-6 and CRP in the presence or absence of periodontal infection in CKD and b) to compare the serum IL-6 and CRP levels in response to periodontal intervention.
Being tested

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Serum Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels

    IL-6 and CRP are markers of systemic inflammation and may improve at the end of gum treatment.

    Measured: 2 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Changes in periodontal (gum) clinical presentation and status

    For the secondary outcome, periodontal variables such as bleeding on probing, probing depth (the depth of the gum sulcus around the tooth), and bacterial plaque score will be evaluated to assess the effectiveness of the intervention and the compliance of the patients

    Measured: 2 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Scaling root planing and Supragingival Prophylaxis in people with Periodontitis and Chronic Kidney Disease, run by UConn Health at 1 site in United States.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Serum Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels (time frame: 2 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01094639, which also lists 8 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
